Feb. 1 Super Bowl 49 – or TV Marathons

While NBC shows the Super Bowl 49 (starting at 12pm CST), other stations will be running regular scheduled programming and still others will be running marathons. Here’s a list of marathons (and other special programming) to distract you while your living room is occupied by jocks and other folk watching Super Bowl 2015.

If you get the channel POP, Boomer Esiason and Katharine McPhee will host a countdown of the best ‘old school’ and ‘new school’ Super Bowl commercials of 2015 at 10:30am CST. It’s a great way to see the “best part of the Super Bowl” without having to actually watch the game.

Note, most programming can be confirmed by going to http://www.locatetv.com and some channels that listed “TBA” when I was compiling this list may now have more details on what’s showing.

TCM: 8:30am The Four Feathers; 10:45am The Wind and the Lion; 1pm The Great Race; 3:45pm Around the World in 80 Days; 7pm And the Oscar Goes To …. (The history of the Academy Awards); 9pm Wings; 11:30pm All Quiet on the Western Front;

TNT: 2am Law & Order (the original); 5pm Tyler Perry Madea Goes to Jail; 7pm The Help; 10pm The Help
